President Donald Trump is hosting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for talks at the White House Friday.
The meeting comes a day after Trump had a lengthy phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The U.S. leader is signaling he’s not ready to agree to sell Kyiv a long-range missile system that the Ukrainians say they desperately need.
In recent days, Trump had shown openness to selling Ukraine long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles, even as Putin warned against it.
Following Thursday’s call with Putin, Trump appeared to downplay the prospects of Ukraine getting the missiles.
